Stop Saying No: Closing Security Gaps Without Expanding Your Stack

Saying “we don’t do that” creates gaps, and in cybersecurity, gaps are where risk lives. When clients move forward without guidance on identity, data, or business applications, MSPs are often left dealing with the security and compliance fallout.

Ole explores how MSPs can strengthen their security posture and client relationships by guiding solutions they don’t directly deliver. Learn how partnering with TruNorth Dynamics enables you to support platforms like Dynamics 365 and Power Platform without adding operational burden or increasing risk exposure. This approach eliminates risk at the decision layer, not just by adding more tools.

From Device to Identity: Rethinking BYOD Security for MSPs
Sponsored by Aura Business

Employee-owned devices have become one of the largest—and most overlooked—security gaps in the modern IT stack. While 79% of MSPs monitor corporate laptops, only 24% extend that visibility to employee-owned devices, even though these devices frequently access corporate data.

New research from Omdia highlights the risks of this blind spot: more than half of MSPs have experienced a BYOD-related security incident in the past two years. The majority of these incidents are not due to lost devices but stem from credential theft and email compromises.

Peter Giardino, Head of MSP Channel Strategy at Aura Business, will discuss how MSPs are driving the adoption of an identity-based approach to BYOD security. He will outline how this approach goes beyond traditional Identity and Access Management to address critical gaps, enabling MSPs to protect clients without adding complexity or risk.

CEO
TruNorth Dynamics

Ole Gjerde is the CEO of TruNorth Dynamics and a recovering IT services founder. He started his first company while still in college, learned a lot of lessons the hard way, and eventually helped transform TruNorth Dynamics from a traditional Dynamics project firm into a product-focused Microsoft Business Applications partner. Ole spends most of his time helping MSPs and businesses navigate growth and responsibility, especially when it comes to knowing when to build, when to partner, and when “we don’t do that” creates more problems than it solves. His talks are practical, opinionated, and designed to be immediately useful, with just enough dad jokes to keep things interesting.
